Shudra: One of four major castes in India, the Shudra are normally employed as farm laborers and domestic servants though some groups of artisans and craftsmen belong to this caste as well. During the early colonial period, the agents of the British East India Company encouraged separation along caste lines as it made the population more manageable. Later the British Crown ostensibly outlawed discrimination against the "lower" castes, but tacitly approved of the division because such discrimination fit neatly with their foreign policy of "divide and rule", and closely mirrored Britain's own class structure. Ironically caste identities became more prominent and more firmly established during this period.
